A Nationally Accredited Law Enforcement Training Academy

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services in partnership with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management is pleased to announce this two-day “Medical Preparedness & Response for Bombing Incidents” course presented by Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX).
This course is intended for members of emergency response as well as other city and county services that become a part of a community response to an bombing incident. This interactive, Instructor facilitated program employs case studies, lessons learned, validated medical data, and potential threats to the communities we serve. Sessions will address planning considerations and concerns specific to medical responders, law enforcement, and emergency planners, with an intended outcome of integrating incidents of an explosive nature to existing plans. This will enhance community preparedness by identifying areas to address when attendees return to their jurisdiction.
Topics to be covered:
• Terrorism Target Identification
• Types of Terrorism
• Explosive Characteristics and Behaviors
• Homemade Explosives
• Pre-attack Indicators
• Blast Injury Pattern Recognition
• Explosive Incident Triage Considerations
